As a taxpayer I'm more than willing to chip in (happy to do it) so you can have access to a phone. As a working stiff I'm not going to feel guilty if i chose to pay for an iPhone. If you scratch below the surface most of the comments are tongue in cheek.

4 posts in and all I can think is "WOW". I'll think of this when I send in my next payment as I don't think I'd be able to get me free phone service. My AIDsy brain dictates that I don't even have the option of switching to these new fangled things.

Their $150 a month phones you mean. Mine is a Virgin Mobile $33 a month phone and you know what - I can block callers too......

Thanks for bringing that up. I hope this thread doesn't make the homeless people without Iphones feel bad.......

Don't judge a book by its smartphone.

I was homeless with an (old) iPhone. If you don't have a data plan, it costs $0 per month. My digital home was quite nice, though, and I was able to keep all of my old files and data throughout the period where I had nowhere to go or store things. I would never have been able to keep up with all those papers and documents, not to mention music I had bought over the years, since I had to carry everything I owned in one bag.

I suppose living in the land of Helvetia font worship, it's birthplace, I should love IOS 7 and maybe I will. But it still bugs me they took away the glamorous sensual full screen image Itunes navigation. I want to see my album art! I took the time to collect hd pictures and they looked gemlike on my little hd screen.

I suppose living in the land of Helvetia font worship, it's birthplace, I should love IOS 7 and maybe I will. But it still bugs me they took away the glamorous sensual full screen image Itunes navigation. I want to see my album art! I took the time to collect hd pictures and they looked gemlike on my little hd screen.

Good point. I hadn't realized they did that till you just mentioned it. I had to go check.

My eyes must be young because I'm not having any issues with the font.

That said, I'm loving the new iOS 7, and I think part of the reason is that I am using it on an iPad. The original OS was neither designed by Jony Ives nor was it designed with the larger iPad screen in mind, because that product wasn't out yet. So it's always been something ported from another product. Hence this is the first OS designed specifically for the iPad in mind (though obviously also the smaller iPhone screen which is why you can alter the font size).

So have you girls learned the insider tricks of multi-tasking, force quitting apps, and activating spotlight search?

ps: the rumor is that when the iPhone 6 is released next year the screen will be larger and/or they will have it in two sizes. I actually think I'd prefer the smaller screen because it's easier to operate holding it in one hand. I always use two hands with my Galaxy phone.

I'm like the folks in the AARP endorsed commercial. well, not quite but almost.Got GPS in my car. Home most of the time. Have computer. Cell used while on the road and vacations. No need for these new fangled thingies. Sad but true.

Fun to hear your needs and ability to keep up with the tech world. It has changed the world in a short time.
